20 Years After Srebrenica: Bosnia and Herzegovina Today

This series of events throughout the fall 2015 semester marks the anniversaries of both the Srebrenica Massacre (in July 1995 more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed in and around the town of Srebrenica by units of the Army of Republika Srpska under the command of General Ratko Mladić) and the anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords, reached in November 1995 under the leadership of Richard Holbrooke of the Clinton Administration. The accords formally put an end to three-and-a-half years of a devastating and genocidal war.

This series explores the state of Bosnian society today, the country’s ongoing and debilitating division into two administrative units, Bosniak-Croat Federation and Republika Srpska, and what has happened to the cultural life of the country and its capital, Sarajevo.
